In an effort to promote the domestic tourism in Ghana, the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with the Ghana Tourism Authority and the Ghana Education Service has organised a trip for selected basic and second cycle schools in Wa in the Upper West Region.
The trip which was facilitated by the Regional Directorate of the Ghana Tourism Authority was under the theme “Promotion of Domestic Tourism through Schools; Every Child, a Tourism Enthusiast”.
The Regional Director of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Mr Henry Yulepour who led the group to the tour said the project was meant to give opportunity to the children to discover their environment and to socialize.
He added that, the promotion of domestic tourism especially among the youth is essential in the development of tourism.
The trip which was funded by the Ministry of Tourism took the pupils and students to the Mole National Park, the Larabanga mystic stone and the Larabanga mosque. The students were excited and happy to have traveled for the first time outside their region and were grateful to the organisers.
The project has already seen students and pupils from Kpando in the Volta region visiting the nation’s capital Accra and is expected to be replicated in other parts of the country.
